suddenly rebooted exchange server

Hi Experts,

my exchange server 2016 restarts each night.
How to troubleshoot this ?
Where to look into ?

Hello There

Does it happen at a specific time? Any error/warning related to a reboot in the Event Log?

I would check Windows Update settings first.
Settings -> Update and Security -> Windows Update -> Change active hours and Restart options

Then Local/Domain GPO -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update -> Configure Automatic Updates -> check your settings

Not on a specific time.

I have seen this error log:

Recovery Action Started. (ActionId=ForceReboot, ResourceName=EX01, Requester=ServiceHealthActiveManagerForceReboot, InstanceId=200219.123955.34077.004, ExpectedToFinishAt=2020-02-18T23:44:55.3407755Z
Then check this:
Make sure that the Register this connection’s addresses in DNS property is selected on the network adapter.

Hi, Please read carefully....

I do not have this error : ServiceHealthMSExchangeReplForceReboot

I have this error : ServiceHealthActiveManagerForceReboot

:-(
Sorry, I missed that.

Is the server all up to date?

Before you find out the cause of the issue, a temp workaround might be to override the global monitor which is probably causing reboots.

I am just curious. What exactly did you change? Did you add CPUs and cores? Something else?
Hi ,

I have changed to

8 Sockets
4 Cores per Socket
